Effect of all-trans Retinoic acid (atRA), 13-cis-Retinoic acid (13cRA) and N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)retinamide (4-HPR) on IMH: To 1 mL of buffered suspension of RPE membranes (100 mM Tris pH 8.0, 76.7 μg of protein) was added 60 μM or 6 μM of atRA, 13cRA or 4-HPR and incubated at room temp. for 15 min. A control reaction mixture without any inhibitor was also incubated at room temperature for 15 min. At the end of the 15 min incubation, all-trans-retinol [11-12-3H2] (0.2 μM) was added to the reaction mixtures (100 mM Tris pH 8.0, 76.7 μg of RPE protein, 0.2% BSA 100 μM of DPPC, 1 mM of DTT and 0.2 μM all-trans-retinol [11-12-3H2]) and incubated at room temperature for 30 min. At the end of this 30 minutes of incubation, an aliquot of the reactions were quenched to verify the equal addition of all-trans-retinol [11,12-3H2] and the effect of these inhibitors on LRAT. After this the control reaction mixture was incubated with atRA (60 & 6 μM), 13cRA (60 & 6 μM) or 4-HPR (60 & 6 μM) for 15 min. Now all the reaction mixtures were incubated with 30 μM of apo-rCRALBP (100 mM Tris pH 8.0, 7.7 μg of RPE protein, 0.2% BSA 100 μm of DPPC, 1 mM of DTT 30 μM apo-rCRALBP and 0.2 μM all-trans-retinol [11-12-3H2]) at 37° C. for 30 minutes. At the end of this incubation period the 200 μL reaction mixture was quenched by the addition of 750 μL ice cold methanol after which 100 μL of 1M sodium chloride solution was added, and 500 μl hexane (containing butylated hydroxy toluene at 1 mg/mL) was added to effect extraction of the retinoids. The retinoids were analyzed as previously described (27). The amount of 11-cis-retinol formed was used as a measurement of IMH activity. All experiments were performed in triplicate and the average values of these measurements were used for analysis.
